Benji
Adopt Me
Hi, I’m Benji – and I’m Ready for My Forever!
Hi there! I’m Benji, a 5 ¾-month-old purebred Golden Retriever with a gentle heart and a lot of love to give. I have learned lots since being in my foster home, and now I am ready to find my forever family.
The world is still a little big and noisy for me sometimes, but I’m making progress every day. I’ve learned my name, I sleep soundly through the night, and I absolutely love my toys and bully sticks! And I am almost 100% house and leash trained. I am looking for a home that has the time to continue to help me learn all the things a sweet golden boy needs to know. A home with another friendly adult dog would be amazing! Having a mentor pup to show me the ropes would make a big difference as I learn how to be brave and confident. And a fenced yard where I could run and play – would be magnificent!
My foster family says I’m sweet, smart, and worth every ounce of love and time you give me. I’m healthy, up to date on all my vaccines and microchipped. Yep, I am just a gentle golden pup that still has learning and growing to do.

Freja
Adopt Me
Look out world....here I come. I'm an almost two year very active female. I'm beautiful and sweet, energetic, and loveable. But maybe a little " strong willed". I'm definitely an independent woman...admirable...but I could probably use "better" judgement sometimes. I'd probably be happiest if there were "big kids" in my Family. If there's another dog...I sure hope they like to play....BIG TIME. I will need a fenced yard for all my fun time! As my Mom says I don't have a mean bone in my body, I'm just kind of " bigger than life". If you're looking for a gorgeous female Golden...spayed and current on my vaccines...who loves people and dogs and LIFE! I'm your girl

Max
Adopt Me
Well hello there. My family calls me "Max The Marvelous". And I am! I'm your absolute classic Golden Retriever. I just had my first birthday. I'm not a really big guy, 55 to 60 pounds. I love dogs, kids, big kids, little kids. I'd love a fenced yard. And honestly, besides loving to play...snuggling is my favorite " thing". You're probably wondering why I need to find a new home, it is because there was a death in my Family. And that changed a lot of things. But GRSF says...NO WORRIES. The perfect dog will find the perfect home. Did I mention...I'm ridiculously handsome?

Harriet
Rescued from Korea - Adopt Me
Hi, I’m Harriet! 💛🐾
My journey to a new life is just beginning, and I can’t wait to find a family to love me forever! I’m a 4-year-old golden girl, rescued from a Korean meat farm, and though my past was hard, my heart is still full of love and hope. Right now, I’m safe in a sanctuary, getting ready for my big trip to the USA!
I’m spayed and ready for a fresh start, but I do need a little extra care—I’m heartworm positive, which means my future family will need to help me through my treatment once I arrive. But don’t worry, with love and patience, I’ll be just fine!
I’ll be arriving at Golden Rescue South Florida later this month, and I dream of a home where I can finally feel safe and cherished. Could that be with you? Approved families email Lee Ann FlaRunkle@bellsouth.net
Mila
Adopt Me
Meet Mila
There are so many ways rescues "help" animals. GRSF helps dogs in need and there are so many ways we do that. There's the obvious...finding forever homes for abandoned, unwanted, dogs. Sometimes unhappy circumstances dictate a sad change in the life of a loved...or once loved dog. And finding a new home becomes necessary. And sometimes it's a financial change...or a job change or a life change. And sometimes it's a costly health issue. Life today is expensive...dogs are expensive, and vet costs are astronomical!
Thanks to our many, many Angels, who volunteer time and those who donate money. And our adoption Angels who help us help other dogs by their adoption donation, we can help! That's the case of sweet Mila. Mila is a joyful, energetic 8 year old perfect Golden lady. She runs and plays like a puppy. Her tail never stops! Sadly, she has a large growth on the face. It is growing rather quickly. Her owner works very long hours and is sad about leaving Mila alone all day. It's sad because Mila is definitely a " social butterfly". And now, she'll need surgery to remove the very large mass on her lip. Not only could her loving owner not afford the surgery, but she didn't want Mila to have the surgery and recover alone in her home. So, GRSF to the "rescue". She is happily in a foster home. Really never alone...one human and two dogs to keep her company. She loves that! Her difficult surgery is scheduled for 3/12. The estimated cost....$5,000. YIKES! But Mila is a super sweet and happy soul who loves everyone and everything...and lives life to the fullest with complete joy. So, it's another part of rescuing....saving lives and ending suffering...no matter what the cost. We'll keep updating Mila's story…. If you are interested in adopting Mila and giving this deserving girl a forever home, email Lisa rjlph@outlook.com
Bella Doodle
Adopt Me
Whoooo Weee Watch Me RUN! Life is FUN! Hi there, I’m Bella! I’m a fun, (used to be fluffy) doodle with a big heart and even bigger dreams of finding my forever family. I am 4 years old, spayed with a tail that wags nonstop! When I was rescued, my coat was a matted mess, but now I’ve had a fresh start and can’t wait for my waves to grow back into their full fluffy glory!
I’m a sweet and loving girl who absolutely loves being close to my humans. I mean really close in fact, I love, love sleeping in bed right by your side! Yep, I am all Velcro and I have lots of fun energy. So in addition to being your snuggle bed buddy, I’m looking for an active home where I can go on long daily walks, run free at a park or big back yard, play with enrichment toys, and maybe even have a doggy sibling my size that wants to play, play, play! Older kids would be the best fit for me, as I’m still working on my manners and can be a bit of a jumper when I’m happy and trust me, I’m happy a lot.
If you’re ready to share your bed, your love, and your time with a sweet, active and fun doodle like me, we might be a perfect match. Junee, my GRSF adoption coordinator can tell you all the details, so if I sound like the pup for you, email her today jwarnersales@aol.com Love, Bella 🐾
